Treyarch is returning with one of its familiar features in the upcomingCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warmultiplayer release as the multiplayer announcement reveals health bars as part of players' HUDs. Although this feature has always been hit or miss with fans, the developers are now including an additional feature allowing fan customization of theBlack Ops Cold WarHUD.
Many fans rememberthe launch ofBlack Ops 4when health bars appeared and auto-regen was removed from the game. The development team at Treyarch have decided that although they are keeping health bars, auto-regen will remain in the game allowing players to focus on gunplay and movement rather than healing themselves mid-fight.

There are several options available for fans to view health bars over enemies and allies, depending completely on the amount of clutter each player is OK with on their screen. From the full reveal, it seems that many traditional HUD elements will be returning back to their original states allowing fans aclassicBlack Opsexperiencein the newest game. There is still much fans do not know, but the list of quick answers goes a long way to quiet any fears the community has.
